  • Patent number: 9418200
    Abstract: A system for designing an integrated circuit includes at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the system to receive a proposed device array layout from a device array design module. The device array design module is configured to generate the proposed device array layout free from a set of system design rule constraints. The system is also caused to revise a schematic of the integrated circuit including the proposed device array layout. The system is further caused to determine whether the revised schematic violates one or more system design rule constraints.
